lyrics

In the underworld there’s a little girl
throwing fire into her wounds
And your god is there, sees that she is scared
but he just watches her, amused

It’s just a nasty dream, but it looks just like
a scene out of the books that we’ve been reading
A god of power and light
stained onto these pages
residue of fear in every eye

Holy, holy
Holy, holy

Who’ll be the star of Jesus
Who memorized that verse?
I started to tell my story
but he had to sell his first
In his tragic fantasy, the hero always dies
and we’re standing on the shoreline
waiting for him to arrive

Holy, holy
Holy, holy

I’m sorry. It’s just me.
I don’t really mean to accuse
but all the prophets and the holy bible,
they didn’t help to ease the confusion
I’m sorry. It’s just me.
I don’t really mean to accuse
Just throw the literature out the window
and show me a little piece of good news

I want to be whole
Wholly, holy
